Use your imagination—if you have the budget, there are some very interesting commercial applications for these stunning, lifelike figures. Gene Poor's LifeFormations is a leading producer of highly realistic museum figures—static and animatronics. I first saw their work on a C-SPAN broadcast surrounding the dedication of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum. What captured my interest was the fact that visitors can stand right next to these incredibly detailed, life-sized figures in the middle of the museums plaza.
